Labang

Special visitation room at Seoul Southern Prison.

Shin Dae-seong met with President Jeon Yeong-suk.

“The clothes suit you well.”

“okay?”

“I’ll have to change into a hospital gown soon. You didn’t really believe I was going to be in prison, did you?”

“I came to shatter that dream. It was done by the fake Hwang Gil-dong.”

President Jeon Young-sook responded with a smile.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You did something very dangerous. He’s trying to set off a real bomb in the middle of the city.”

“······!”

“What would happen if there were a large number of casualties? The former chairman’s comfortable life in the prison would be thrown out the window.”

“What?”

Shin Dae-seong whispered to Jeon Yeong-suk, who was frowning.

‘I know who that guy is. And I have no intention of stopping him.’

“!”

‘I will arrest him the moment he detonates the bomb and reveal the former chairman’s connection. There is not much time left. If that bomb detonates, the rest of the former chairman’s life will be over.’

Shin Dae-seong finished whispering and got up.

“I’ll visit you in prison next time. You’ll probably never get out of there again. Goodbye.”

Shin Dae-seong greeted them politely and left the special reception room.

-bang!

Jeon Yeong-suk shouted while hitting the table.

“Call my son-in-law!”

-Squeak.

Attorney Song Chi-soo came in through the door that Shin Dae-seong had exited through.

Jeon Young-sook, who had called him, was surprised.

“Oh, how did you come?”

“I came with detective Shin Dae-seong. He said he would look for me when he left······.”

“······.”

“Shall we go out?”

“No, sit down······.”

Jeon Young-sook is seen taking a deep breath to calm her anger.

Attorney Song Chi-su asked cautiously.

“Mother-in-law, what is it that has you so angry? Your request for medical parole will be accepted without a hitch.”

“I can’t contact the broker that the lawyer introduced me to.”

“What do you mean? Are you still in contact with Attorney Han Sang-hoon?”

“A lawyer introduced me to a broker from ‘Blood Crown’. You’ve probably heard of him. 0.01% Legal Service.”

“Mother-in-law······ I also know about the Blood Crown.”

“okay?”

“One thing is for sure, there are no brokers there.”

“Wh, what are you talking about? How much money did I give that guy······.”

Attorney Song Chi-su asked in a lowered voice.

‘Was it he who set off the bomb at Gangnam 2nd Police Station?’

‘I don’t know if the broker is fake, but he chose a good guy. Isn’t he better than the real Hwang Gil-dong? Of course, he also had help from within the police force.’

“Mother-in-law!”

Attorney Song Chi-su stood up and shouted.

Then he suppressed his irritation and asked,

“Why do you sprinkle ashes on rice that has already been cooked? Do you know what will happen if this is found out?”

“It’s okay as long as you don’t get caught.”

“How did you contact the broker?”

“I did it through a lawyer.”

Song Chi-su lowered his voice again.

‘Do you know what happens if a fake Hwang Gil-dong hurts someone?’

‘We have to stop it.’

‘What is the broker’s name and contact information?’

‘here······.’

Jeong Yeong-suk handed over a note with her name and contact information.

“Mother-in-law, please don’t do useless things.”

“That’s not something you should say, coming from the mouth of someone who cheated on you.”

“Haa~.”

Attorney Song Chi-soo shook his head and came out of the special interview room.

He immediately tried to make a phone call,

-Due to the customer’s circumstances······.

-Now, customer······.

No matter how many times I called, the broker did not answer the phone.

Shin Dae-seong approached attorney Song Chi-su.

“Are you contacting broker Kim Pil-su?”

Song Chi-su responded with an expressionless face.

“You haven’t left yet?”

“I want to help ease Attorney Song’s burden.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Broker Kim Pil-su was found dead yesterday.”

“!”

Song Chi-su asked, hiding his pain.

“What was the cause of death?”

“After severe torture, he was strangled to death. It was clearly murder and a warning. So I ask you, what did you do between 10 p.m. and midnight last night?”

“Are you asking me for an alibi?”

“We have Kim Pil-soo’s cell phone. Since you just called, we have no choice but to ask for an alibi.”

“Yesterday, I was invited by a close friend. It was a small garden party with about a dozen people.”

“Can someone prove it?”

“The Chief Justice was there, as well as the high court judges and the deputy chief prosecutors… Most of them were legally convinced witnesses.”

“Where was your wife?”

“You were with me at the garden party.”

“Okay, Attorney. I advise you not to have any more dealings with the former Chairman.”

“I would like to do that too. But Detective Shin, you look more stylish today, don’t you?”

“I boldly changed my tie.”

These are similar colors that most people don’t recognize.

“Somehow······ it feels vintage yet free.”

“Your shirt has changed, too, lawyer.”

“My wife chose it for me.”

“I think it further enhances Attorney Song’s intellectual image.”

It’s time for Shin Dae-seong and Song Chi-su to share some good advice about clothes.

Kim Han-gyeol hurriedly ran over and gestured.

“Detective Shin, you have to hurry. This is an emergency.”

* * *

Shin Dae-seong got into the car and asked.

“what’s the matter?”

“They say the fake Hwang Gil-dong has appeared. It looks like he’s finally trying to take the bomb I ordered.”

“It’s only been three days?”

“Yes, he seems to be a lot more cautious than I expected.”

“I hope you’re keeping a close eye on it?”

“A special surveillance team has been assigned. They are also receiving support from the SWAT team. They said they will check for accomplices and arrest them. There is no need to worry about a bomb going off.”

“What does the fake Hwang Gil-dong look like?”

“He said he would take a picture and send it to me.”

-Brrrrr.

Kim Han-gyeol drove the car at an increasing speed.

“Broker Kim Pil-su. Did the fake Hwang Gil-dong kill him?”

“Well······ I don’t think it’s Chairman Jeong Yeon-suk’s side.”

“I am suspicious of the Blood Crown.”

“What is the reason?”

“Because he impersonated me. Not the lawyer, of course. The founder.”

“What did detective Seo, who was monitoring the former chairman, say?”

“Attorney Han Sang-hoon has never met anyone suspicious. He only contacted Kim Pil-soo by phone.”

-Tiring~ Ding.

It’s the sound of a text message arriving.

“Please confirm that you are Detective Shin. You must have sent me a fake photo of Hwang Gil-dong.”

“huh······.”

A strange smile spread across Shin Dae-seong’s face as he checked the text.

“You have to show it to me too?”

“here.”

Shin Dae-seong sent the photos without any problems while driving.

“Wow······ It’s definitely the guy that Chae Jeong-hwan was talking about.”

The fake Hwang Gil-dong was dressed as a ‘girl with super powers’.

She had long black hair, a partial mask covering her eyes, and was wearing tight black stockings and a skirt, as well as a silver cloak.

“It seems like she resembles stuntwoman Kang Yu-mi······.”

“Where is the fake Hwang Gil-dong moving to?”

“Just turn on your radio. I’ve tuned it to the special surveillance team’s frequency.”

-Click.

Shin Dae-seong immediately turned on the radio.

-The operation has changed. I repeat it again. The operation has changed. Arrest the fake Hong Gil-dong immediately.

Shin Dae-seong reacts with disbelief.

“Why are you doing something unexpected again?”

“Detective Shin, you must not interfere. Whether we die or become food, the surveillance team and SWAT will handle this operation.”

“Then there’s nothing I can do······.”

Shin Dae-seong just quietly listened to the radio transmission.

– Arrest the suspect before he leaves the construction site. Quickly block the front and back doors and begin the operation.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

Soon after, an uneasy radio transmission was heard.

-The operation failed! The suspect escaped from the construction site.

-Deploy the special police force!

-Too late! The suspect’s vehicle has left the escape route. He’s driving at a level close to stunt driving.

-Emergency pursuit! Emergency pursuit!

-I’ll request helicopter support. You can’t miss it.

Kim Han-gyeol, who was driving, clicked the tip of his tongue.

“Tsk tsk tsk, that’s why you suddenly changed the plan······ It seems the fake Hwang Gil-dong is also good at stunt driving. I heard he even modifies his vehicles specially?”

“You must have come fully prepared in case you get caught.”

“It’s going to be a headache if we miss this guy.”

“I don’t think he’ll run away and dive.”

“Then?”

“The plan is proceeding as planned.”

“Are you really going to detonate a bomb in this situation?”

“According to my profiling, yes. Since the police caught him, he decided he had nowhere else to go.”

“Then should I turn myself in?”

“That’s the general idea. This guy is going to want to show the world how great he is. He’s not going to hesitate to do something extremely dangerous.”

“I trust our police. This isn’t America. You can’t escape in a car chase. I think the special surveillance team will catch you in no time.”

This is the time when Kim Han-gyeol speaks confidently.

There was an urgent radio transmission from the police chasing the fake Hwang Gil-dong.

-Missing it! The suspect’s vehicle is not visible.

-Team B, report. Do you see the suspect’s vehicle?

-The suspect’s vehicle is not visible here either. What happened to the helicopter support?

-Don’t trust the helicopter, find it quickly!

“Wow~ Amazing. I missed this again······.”

-Squeak.

Kim Han-gyeol stopped his car on the side of the road.

“From now on, I have to think and act. Where do you think the fake Hwang Gil-dong will explode a bomb?”

“I have a guess as to where it is······.”

“Really? Where is that?”

“It’s not certain yet, so let’s move without telling anyone. So that the fake Hwang Gil-dong doesn’t escape.”

“All right.”

* * *

Downtown Seoul as the sun begins to set.

Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol got out of the car.

They walked along the crowded streets of Gangnam.

“Will the fake Hwang Gil-dong really come here?”

“maybe······.”

“Isn’t your answer unusually cold, Detective Shin?”

“Nothing in this world is perfect. No matter how accurate a prediction is, it’s just a prediction.”

Kim Han-gyeol walked to a building bustling with female students.

“That’s the ‘KG Entertainment’ building. It’s one of the three largest entertainment agencies in our country.”

“The building is really nice, isn’t it?”

“That’s why it was also in the movie ‘Superpower Girl’. It was the place where Superpower Girl had her final battle with the villains. Did the fake Hwang Gil-dong really come here?”

“More than that, how do I get in there······.”

The entrance to KG Entertainment was packed with female students. Shin Dae-sung said he was sick of just looking at them.

“Just follow me.”

Kim Han-gyeol walked ahead.

I gritted my teeth and pushed my way through the students, finally arriving at the main entrance.

“We are detectives from Gangnam Police Station 2.”

“Please come in first.”

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong were able to pass through the entrance by showing their police identification cards.

“Whew~ This is harder than I expected.”

“great job.”

Shin Dae-seong sincerely comforted Kim Han-gyeol for his hard work.

Kim Han-gyeol said while looking at his cell phone.

“Detective Shin would have been successful even if he had been a fortune teller. The fake Hwang Gil-dong is on the roof of the KG Entertainment building.”

“How do you know that?”

“The fake Hwang Gil-dong started a live broadcast.”

“La bang?”

Shin Dae-seong looked at the screen of the cell phone that Kim Han-gyeol handed him.

The title of the live broadcast is,

-KG Entertainment building bombing.

The fake Hwang Gil-dong was dressed as a superpowered guy, and his views were increasing exponentially.

“Do you see that faintly glowing logo? This is definitely the rooftop of KG Entertainment. This guy is completely crazy.”

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong hurried into the agency’s lobby.
